Surprise!!!

What a wonderful weekend...we had a great surprise 60th birthday for my dad. We had planned on having the party outside but the weather did not cooperate, and my dad had the yard plugged the week before, so we transformed the garage for the party, we rented tables, chairs and linens and had the food done. The garage has never looked so good!! The weather was not ideal but it worked and was kind a nice with the rain drizzling outside. The most important part was that dad had a great time and was excited that we did all this for him!!

I started making drapes for a girlfriend of mine....3 cafe curtains and a sink skirt. I will post pictures of the finished products!

I also got my fabric in for the purses so I hope to start on those next week!! YAY!!

I finifshed the necklace!!

So I finished the necklace and it turned out great, its not exactly like the LV one but I still like it!! I was so easy to do but took about a hour. I will say that I had to play around a little to get it finished. I just ordered some new fabric so I am excited to make one with brighter colors. I already have 2 neighbors that want one!! YAY!!! I posted a pic of the final product!

Our Little Star....

Ethan has started his first ever sporting event.....Soccer!! It is hilarious...let me tell ya. They have 30 minutes of practice and then 30 minute game. They basically run around in circles while there crazy parents jump around on the sidelines!! Ethan does pretty well during the practice but about 15 minutes into the game...it was meltdown city. But I still think that is pretty good for a 3 year old to make it 45 minutes. We are super excited about soccer and look forward to many more games. I will keep you posted.

New project!!

Most of the people close to me know that I LOVE to sew. I have never taken a proper class....and now I think that I should....I am pretty much self taught. I will examine curtains and pillows to see how they are made and then I attempt to make them. After reading an old friend, from high schools, blog today, I am inspired!! I am itching to go to the fabric store right now!! But I have a hair appointment at 4....and by that I mean that I am doing someones hair!! My other LOVE!! HAIR!! Sooooo, after Jason get's home tonight I am going to run to the fabric store and purchase fabric to make this knock off LV fabric necklace. I will post pictures later of the finished project. But here is the tutorial if anyone else is interested!! Doesn't it look fabulous!!

Anyway, I just learned that my old friend, Gina Lapiejko Allen is selling her bags at Hip Chicks in Clemmons, her bags are called GinaBean. It is one of my most favorite stores....so go check it out and her bags!! Super cute!!
